Oh how I hate being slapped with a wet lettuce. In my case it is all true. I am the stereotypical Melbourne supporter, the only differences being I buy a membership every year, I sold the Range Rover and I know who number 9 is. Smile, we are unbeaten playing well and they are taking notice of us. I want to hear it every day for years, and I will smile and say we are doing well may have to ski overseas more if we keep winning. 

PS. Is young Neitz still the captain?

    Damn right, just laugh the silver-tail jokes off regardless of it applying to you personally or not. For those struggling with that then may I suggest having a cup of concrete.  Keep it true to the stereotype and accept only the best - Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC).

    I've been to 5 Demon Games this year, also arranging a weekend at Hotham (when we're playing interstate). Best of both worlds!

    When our team and club is up and about, they have nothing else to attack us on, except our supporter base. Not many other clubs ever cop this. It's also a bit of a pathetic put down. "YOU HAVE MONEY!!!!" And no, I've never been to the snow.

    They also couldn’t help themselves disrespecting Nathan Jones by labeling the 300 gamer a perennial loser. 

    Pffft...

    Jones is a champion.  People know that.  Has as much respect in the footy world as the next man/woman.

    At the local shopping centre and I just spotted an old guy sporting a Dees baseball cap that was so brand spanking new he may as well have left the label on it. I see this guy all the time and never knew he was a fan. In my neck of the woods Dees supporters are few and far between; ones who show their colours, anyways. It made me think about a tweet I read after Richmond won the grannie in 2017. It read along the lines of Now you’ll see only two types of Richmond regalia: Brand new gear or 32yo gear that reeks of mothballs. So I’m sure we have to expect a barrage of this type of discourse should we go all the way. Incidentally, the newest MFC merch I own is a guernsey I won in a competition two weeks ago. And not a single item of the sh*t-tonne of stuff I’ve amassed over the years smells of mothballs. Brave is the person who even entertains the idea of labelling me a bandwagonner. ?

    I’m the complete opposite type of Demon fanatic. I don’t own a car, let alone a Range Rover; I only know what a charcuterie plate is coz I saw it on the Hans ad. on TV; and as for snow, the closest I would ever get to seeing white powder is if I’m walking down the main street of St. Albans and the meth-head in front of me falls over and the baggie of ice in his pocket comes tumbling out onto the footpath. (This actually happened.)

    I couldn’t care less about the joke. Like others have said, I’d rather be known for that than be missing teeth or on the dole. 
    Water off a ducks back for me, let the haters hate.

    Work colleague (Collingwood supporter) got into me one day about owning a Range Rover and renting a chalet at Hotham during footy season.

    I replied that at least the value of my car didn’t fluctuate (had to tell him what that means) depending on how much petrol was in the tank. And by the way, we Dees supporters don’t rent, we own. And we don’t let our 14 year old daughter smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids.

    Next time he has a go, tell him that the Police can never solve murders in Collingwood.   He'll ask why.

    You can then explain it's because there are no dental records and all the DNA is the same.

    Finish him off with an Addams Family song:

    "Your sister is your mother, your father is your brother, you all (bonk) one another, the Magpie family".

    Apparently Dale "Daisy" Thomas (the former Collingwood and Carlton player) made a "joke" on social media in a video calling up ski resorts to ask if any Demons supporters have cancelled their bookings to the snow for this year.

    All very lame and the typical stereotype against us. I have only every been to the snow 2 or 3 times in my life. I am also just a regular working class Melbourne supporter.

    Sadly, we won't be able to stop this joke and ridicule about us until we finally end our Premiership drought. Winning flags is the only way to shut up those who hate us and make fun of us.

    I'm usually in the south of France in April each year so my chalet is generally on loan to family and friends. I traded out of the Rangy 18 months ago (it was already a year old with 10k on the clock) and leased me the new Porsche Cayenne. I was a bit nervous when Covid hit that I'd have to keep it for three years, but as life is back to normal here in Brighton, I should be able to flip it in the usual 24 months. The partners in the firm are now on board with Charles and have stopped calling him Nieta. Oh, and what's this thing called a 'weekend'? (And well done number two Ol' Chap.)

    In fairness Lord Nev, it is difficult to spot the difference between a Beetoota article and the actual news. The recent article about the hit kids show Bluey not representing minority groups including dogs of colour and with disabilities.

    One has to be pretty vigilant taking in news these days, unfortunately. The term “false-flagging” refers to media organisations concocting outrage that centres around supposed “debates” that in actuality, really aren’t occurring in any real sense. Recently Ch 9 ran a story about how the Golden Gaytime was being targeted for a re-naming by the LBGTQ community. Turns out it was just somebody who started a petition and managed to get a few hundred idiots to sign it, but that didn’t stop Ch 9 hyping it to the point that it’s Facebook page was full of furious and, worst of all, hateful language from it’s viewers/readers towards a community that never even picked the fight in the first place. In reality , the overwhelming majority of the gay community are either genuinely uninterested in the issue (there are bigger societal issues they face than this) or wholeheartedly embrace the name. 
     

    The squeaky wheel gets the grease. These media companies know this, but rather than searching out genuine issues with that difficult, draining and meddlesome stuff called “journalism”, many have discovered it’s just so much easy to create the wheel AND the grease out of thin air. It gets people interested in their crappy product just as effectively as any journalism could, at a quarter of the price. The downside? A society being further divided by skewed impressions of the world they live in. 
     

    So next time you see an article saying “they bloody want to change the name of Smarties because it’s not inclusive of stupid people” ask yourself “Is this real?”  The answer is invariably “no” or “not really”. 
     

    And sure there are occasionally very worthy examples where a call for social change is very loud and absolutely warranted, but it’s important to know how to differentiate and not conflate these things. The narrative that so much of our media pushes of “outraged, whingy, lefty snowflakes” is a dangerous one, because it’s purpose is to dilute other more crucial progressive thought. 
     

    Anyway, sorry for the essay. Got on a roll. I’m of to Perisher Smiggins for a cognac.

    We're the only team that gets these personal habit/life digs. You don't hear about Geelong fans heading down the Bellerine to go fishing or Richmond fans heading to certain establishments.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
